PREFACE

The collection of Arabic coins, numbering some three

thousand pieces, preserved in the Khedivial Library at

Cairo, was formed by the late Edwai'd Thomas Eogera

during his long official residence in Egypt, and was

purchased from his executors in November, 1884, by

the Egyptian Government, on the recommendaffon

of H.E. Yacoub Artin Pasha, Under-Secretary of the

Ministry of Public Instruction, himself a numismatist

of distinction. A certain number of specimens found

in Egypt have since been added, but these constitute

an inconsiderable fraction of the whole collection.

Edward Thomas Rogers began his official career in

the British Consular service in Syria, and afterwards

was appointed Consul at Cairo. He then entered the

Egyptian service, and became the accredited Agent of

H.H. the Khedive Isma'il in England. Returning to

Cairo, he held posts first in the Ministry of Public

Instruction, and later in that of the Interior. He will,

however, be remembered especially for his labours and

researches in the province of Saracenic or Mohammadanarchaeology. An accomplished Arabic linguist, he took

a keen interest in evej-ything relating to the history,

art, and antiquities of the Mohammadan East, and

especially of Cairo. He was one of the leading and

most energetic members of the Commission for the

Preservation of the Monuments of Arab Art, which

owed its existence in a large degree to his efforts. The

rf~vrT»*ns /t r^jT^

via PREFACE

Egyptian Institute also received his warm support, and

it was before this society that he developed his original

and important researches in the then almost untouched

subject of Saracenic heraldry. He was one of the first

to investigate the history and uses of Arabic Glas3

Weights, of which he possessed a fine collection (now in

the Khedivial Library), which he described and illus-

trated in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. His

constant exploration of the monuments of Cairo resulted

in valuable discoveries, such as that of the tombs of the

later 'Abbiisid Caliphs, and some of these he published

in English periodicals. But Arabic numismatics was

perhaps his most absorbing study, and his papers in the

Numismatic Chronicle and the Journal of the Royal

Asiatic Society materially advanced our knowledge of

this branch of science. It was an appreciable loss to the

study of Saracenic archaeology when, in the midst of his

varied labours, Eogers Bey was cut off at the age of 53

on the 10th of June, 1884.

The following Catalogue was undertaken at the invi-

tation of the Egyptian Government, and necessitated two

visits to Cairo, in the summer of 1895 and the winter of

1896-7. The system adopted is practically the same as

in my Cataloyue of Oriental Coins in the British Museum,

but the transliteration of Arabic names is that used mmy tables of TJiC Muhammadan Dynasties. The only

detail in this which requires explanation is the use of an

italic I in al when the article precedes one of the shamsiya

consonants, to which the I is of course assimilated.

Thus Ai-Kashld is to be pronounced Ar-Rashld. The

point () in such names as Al-Mu"ayyad indicates a

medial hamza j but the initial and final hamza, and the

final (iuflectional) //, 5 (or td marhuta) in such names as

Al-B<isra(h), are not represented, since they are obvious

PREFACE IX

to every scholar and do not affect pronunciation.

Every final a in this Catalogue implies S^, unless it has

the long mark, a. On the other hand, the final radical

li, 0, is always retained. In the names of well-known

cities still in existence, the ordinary English spelling is

adopted, but the Arabic form is added on the first

occurrence of the name, as Aleppo (Halab).

The special strength of the collection lies in the series

of coins of the Omayyad and ^Abbasid Caliphs, and

naturally in the issues of the various Egyptian dynasties,

Tuluuids, Ikhshidids, Fatimids, Ayyubids, and Mamlnks,

and of the Cairo mint under the 'Othmanli Sultans. In

all these the Cairo cabinet does not fall very far short

numerically of the great collections of London and

Paris. In some cases it even excels them. For example,

the Cairo series of coins of the Omayyad and 'Abbasid

Caliphs numbers 902, to 1052 in the British Museum ; the

Cairo Tuluuids are 34, to 25 in the British Museum;

and the Cairo Fatimids are 335, to 290 in the British

Museum. For purposes of comparison, references have

been given to the Catalogues of the British Museum or

of the Bibliotheque Nationale (so far as the latter had been

printed when this Catalogue was written) whenever coins

in the Cairo cabinet are practically identical with those

in the London or Paris collections ; and it will be seen

that a very considerable number of pieces described

in this volume are not represented in either. Manyof these merely supply new dates or mints, but others

present details of greater historical interest. The dirhani

no. 368 shows the very rare mint Kasr-a?-Salam, a

mere castle close to AZ-Eakka. No. 553 presents the

earliest occurrence of a mint-name on a dinar, occurring

in an almost unique position, beneath the obverse area,

instead of in the margin. It is remarkable that of six

h

X PREFACE

coius of the scarce Caliph al-Mu'tasim, only one is

duplicated in the British Museum, and none at Paris.

The dinar no. 619 with the mint Bahrayn beneath the

rev. is unique. No. 640 is one of the half-dozen coins

so far known of the dynasty of the Sajids. The first

two dinars of the Fatimid Al-Mu'izz present features of

unusual interest : the first has the mint-name Misr

{i.e. al-Fustat), a.h. 341, though Egypt was not con-

quered till a.h. 858; the second is remarkable for two

marginal inscriptions containing religious formulae which

occur at no other time. No. 1268 adds another to the

scanty list of coins struck in the name of " the Expected

Imam" or Mahdi. The collection also possesses the

earliest known coin of the Murabit Yusuf b. Tashfin,

some rare issues of Samanid usurpers, unique or very

rare specimens of the 'Okay lids, Karmatids, Hasnaway.

hids, Mirdasids, Hamdanids, etc.

But it is needless to multiply instances : a study of

the Catalogue will show that the Cairo cabinet of coins

has ample justification for taking its place beside the

important collections of Europe.

For the history and genealogy of the various dynasties,

I must refer the student to my Mohammadan Dynasties

(Constable, 1892).

I must express my sincere thanks to H.E. Yacoub

Artiu Pasha for the facilities he has kindly given me in

every way in the preparation of this work, in which he

has throughout taken a special interest ; and also to

Professor Dr. B. ^foritz, Director of the Khedivial

Library, for many maiks of courtesy and attention.

* The Omayyad Caliphs did not put their names on their gold or

silver coins, and it is therefore needless to divide the coinage under

the heads of their several reigns; indeed, some of the coins might

belong to either the last year of one Caliph or the first year of his

sucoessor. In this section of the Catalogue, the gold coins (J.Tdar,

plur. dandnlr) are arranged consecutively through the whole duration

of the Omayyad dynasty. The inscriptions of the dinars are identical

throughout, -with the exception of the date; and only such numerals

(e.g. ,j~i, ^:-^, ii*) will be printed in Arabic as present unusual or

ancient spellings (i.e. not ^^\, or j^UJ, or sJU), or are open to mistaken

readings. Diacritical points occurring on the coins are noted, because

in this early period they have a palaeographic importance. The only

inscriptions which difl'er from the normal type printed in full for

no. 1 are those of the half-diuars {na.sf) and quarter-dlnfirs (ruh^):

these are deFcribed as they occur. The rest are understood to pre-

cisely resemble 1.
